Healthcare professionals recognize the importance of assessing driving competence when their patient's cognitive abilities may be impaired. In an industry that sees rapidly increasing demands for their services, the healthcare professional appreciates the advantage of quickly, proficiently and accurately evaluating a patient’s cognitive ability to drive. DriveABLE™ has also produced brochures, office posters and booklets that are designed to help healthcare providers deal with the difficult topic of medical impairment and driving. A full list of these helpful tools can be found on the resources page.
